[0001] This patent application is related to patent application Ser. No. 11 / 642,221 filed on Dec. 20, 2006, entitled “LED Display Module”, which is pending, and which is a continuation of patent application Ser. No. 11 / 271,404 filed Nov. 10, 2005, entitled “Modular Display System”, which is pending.

[0002] This application claims priority from the earlier filed U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 791,808 filed Apr. 12, 2006, entitled “Interleaved Pixel Concept SMD-Style LEDs”. The prior application is hereby incorporated into this application by reference as if fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] 1. Field of the Invention

[0004] The present invention to electronic sign displays and, more particularly relates to pixel interleaving configurations for use in high definition electronic sign displays.

[0005] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0006] Prior art electronic sign displays have often incorporated a plurality of light emitting dio...

Examples

Embodiment Construction

[0030]FIG. 1 is a segmented view showing a pixel interleaving configuration 10 for use in high definition electronic sign displays where a plurality of LED packages are arranged and mounted on a circuit board 12 which can be part of a high definition electronic sign display. The LED packages, each of which are a pixel, are arranged in alternating style having odd numbered rows 13, 15, 17, 19, and so on, alternating with even numbered rows 14, 16, 18, 20, and so on, where the even numbered rows 14, 16, 18, 20, and so on, are offset from the odd numbered rows 13, 15, 17, 19, and so on. Correspondingly, the LED packages are arranged in alternating style having columns A, C, E and G, and so on, alternating with columns B, D, F, H, and so on, where the columns B, D, F and H are offset from the columns A, C, E and G, and so on. The LED packages can be identified according to row and column. For example, the upper left LED package would be LED package 13A, the LED package beneath would be ...
